Evaluating Algebraic Expressions A4
In this resource from the DfE Standards Unit, students learn to distinguish between and interpret equations, inequations and identities and substitute into algebraic statements in order to test their validity in special cases. Students often use letters in algebra without understanding what they mean. Common misconceptions include believing that a letter can only stand for one particular number, different letters must stand for different numbers or letters can only stand for whole numbers. Such misconceptions often arise when students generalise from a restricted range of examples. This session will build on their
knowledge of substitution to reconsider such interpretations (GCSE Grades A - F)
